The project
Proactive labour market policy has been one of the Balearic Government’s key tools for curbing long-standing structural unemployment. As part of the 2017–2020 Quality Employment Plan, a special scheme was launched for the long-term unemployed, focusing on getting people back into work through a holistic approach.
The scheme was organised through local councils, which received public funding to take on unemployed people temporarily. Over three 3-month periods, these individuals took part in public works or community service projects, while receiving personal support and training to update their professional skills.
As well as direct recruitment, employment officers were appointed at each local authority. Their role was to design tailored employment support programmes, offer career guidance, organise training initiatives, raise corporate awareness and support active job-seeking. The goal was not just to provide temporary work, but to help people find long-term employment.
The measure was primarily aimed at people aged 30 to 55, a group that has been particularly hard hit by job insecurity. The scheme sought to tackle long-term exclusion from the labour market and contribute to more inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the Balearic Islands.
